Executive Summary

An Economical Model of Divine–Human Union

(Doctoral Dissertation Defense)

1. Research Question

This dissertation addresses a long-standing theological problem:

How can divine–human union be affirmed without collapsing the Creator–creature distinction,

and without presupposing an ontological elevation of fallen humanity?

Existing paradigms—particularly Reformed forensic models and Eastern Orthodox theosis—offer powerful but internally limited answers. This study proposes an alternative framework.

2. Central Thesis

The dissertation argues for an Economical Model of Divine–Human Union, according to which:

Divine–human union is not an ontological ascent of humanity,

but the result of God’s self-dispensation in Christ according to His economy.

Union occurs in Christ and through Christ, not in Adamic humanity, and is realized by divine life dispensed, not by ontological participation in the divine essence.

3. Methodology

This study employs constructive systematic theology with a comparative framework:

Reformed theology (forensic / covenantal divine–human relation)
Eastern Orthodox theology (theosis / participation)
The spiritual–theological corpus of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee

Rather than a descriptive study of a single tradition, the dissertation constructs a third theological paradigm through critical comparison.

4. Key Conceptual Distinctions

The model is structured by several decisive distinctions:

Economy over Ontology
→ God’s saving action precedes metaphysical speculation.
Dispensation over Participation
→ Divine life is given, not ontologically accessed.
Termination of the Old Man over Elevation of Humanity
→ The Adamic life is judged and terminated at the cross, not healed or glorified.
Union-in-Christ over Natural Human Potential
→ Union is exclusive to Christ and His Body.

5. Christological Core

Divine–human union is grounded entirely in Christ:

Incarnation: God enters humanity.
Crucifixion: Adamic humanity is judicially and organically terminated.
Resurrection: Christ becomes the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor 15:45).
Indwelling: Union is realized through internal life-dispensation.

Union is therefore relational and organic, not essential or ontological.

6. Ecclesiological and Eschatological Outcome

The telos of divine economy is not the deification of individuals but:

The constitution of the corporate New Man
The Church as the communal expression of divine–human union
The New Jerusalem as the consummation of God dwelling in humanity

7. Major Theological Contributions

Proposes a third paradigm beyond forensic and participatory models.
Resolves tensions between union and transcendence without ontological collapse.
Reframes sanctification as life constitution, not moral or ontological ascent.
Provides a coherent framework for ecclesiology and eschatology rooted in divine economy.

8. One-Sentence Defense Statement

This dissertation argues that divine–human union is not humanity’s ascent into divinity,

but God’s descent in Christ to dispense Himself as life,

thereby constituting a corporate expression of union without compromising divine transcendence.
